This thread is for tropers who have trouble with English and would like some help with the crazy grammar of this crazy language.
Write down what you wish to edit on the wiki. If you have been suspended from editing, another troper might be kind enough to edit for you after your suggestions have been corrected.
The thread is for help and feedback on your own suggested edits.
If you want help correcting other people's edits (e.g., if you find a page which seems to have grammar problems but want a second opinion, or you don't feel able to fix it by yourself) then that's off-topic here, but we have a separate Grammar Police cleanup thread
that can provide assistance.

- Escapist Character: Carly Shay is the host of a highly popular webshow which makes her a famous on the internet. Her status as an internet celebrity allows her to meet other famous people, from singers like David Archuleta to even the First Lady of the time, Michelle Obama. In her personal life, she is apparently rich as she resides in a three-story apartment with a private elevator and has limited parental control over her life. In addition, her father, godfather, and grandfather shower her with affection, often favoring her over her older brother. At school, she is an A+ student, is friends with nearly everyone in school (including the principal) and has garnered the interest of numerous attractive young men. Should there be anyone who harbors animosity towards her (ie. the show's antagonist), these people are certain to rue the day.

- Consider the trauma that unfolded during this episode. While they have faced life-or-death situations, they could always take action, which is their forte. This time, however, they found themselves utterly powerless against the odds of death and the law. If it hadn’t been for Blitzo stepping in, all four of them would have met their end. And without Stolas, Blitzo himself would have perished. Though there were moments of comic relief during the trial, the overall atmosphere was undeniably dark. Their lives were essentially deemed insignificant simply because they were labeled as 'low Imps.' Regardless of the consequences, most of the courtroom seemed eager to wrap things up, showing little regard for their fate. They were quick to brush aside the matter to get back to their lunches without delving into a mountain of nonsense and baseless accusations. The indifference towards whether they lived or died was palpable. Moreover, each one faced personal trauma that added to the weight of the situation:
- Blitzo was literally on the chopping block, and you can see him start to hyperventilate as he realises he is about to die, and will never see his friends or family again.
- Moxxie and Millie were about to lose their friend and the man who brought them together, gave them a purpose and helped them escape from their shitty past lives.
- Loona, after being given undeniable proof that Blitzo does love her, has to watch her father die. Moreover, she is the only one in I.M.P. who can’t even say goodbye and has been dehumanised by the muzzle.
Aine
- Normie Dates a Celebrity: Ordinary High-School Student Aine ends up the lyricist for the rock band Λucifer and the object of desire for lead singer Sakuya. Throughout the relationship, which begins in secret, she has to deal with a litany of trouble and legitimate trauma, ranging from jealous fans, paparazzi coming and negative press, rival band members kidnapping and attempting to sexually assault her, hell she's not even safe from the president of the label who rapes her as a way to break Sakuya.

- Estrogen Brigade: Despite the film being aimed at mostly at male fans, it has a surprisingly large female fanbase, mainly due to the good looks of Paul Mescal, Joseph Quinn, and especially Pedro Pascal.
- Incest Yay Shipping: Due to how close Geta and Caracalla are, as well as the chemistry between Joseph Quinn and Fred Hechinger, a lot of fans online ship the two online despite them being brothers.
Any corrections?
Fan-Preferred Couple cleanup threadThanks
@ Dependent
- What the Hell, Hero?: Sidney is understandably furious with the detectives for questioning his underage daughter to build a case against her and then telling her that she killed her mother while drunk without a lawyer present when they knew she might have no memory of the event and also failed to stop her suicide attempt (and this is before it turns out she was innocent the whole time).
@ Homeland
- They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: Plenty of fans lament how Muslim New Meat The Reliable One analyst Fara Sherazi only lasts two seasons despite her great dynamics with the cast and impressiveness, especially since she gets killed off in her second season and is the second Token Enemy Minority character this happens to in a row, after Danny, and it would have been interesting to see how her working cases beyond Muslim terrorists after the cast begins clashing with Russian spies in the later seasons. She is probably one of the characters most likely to have her fate experience He's Just Hiding or Fanon Discontinuity in fanfics, after Quinn and Brody.
- In what doubles as a funny moment, while she may not like her brother much in the flashbacks, she still recognizes his genius and judgement, judging by the way she is the first of the neighborhood bystanders to plug her ears after Danny advises everyone that Seth’s first rocket is going to blow up if he insists on trying to launch it.
- They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot:
- Nolaa is the sister of poor Oola and she and her sister being sold as slaves when the Empire subjugated Ryloth was her Start of Darkness. Nonetheless, she barely acknowledges how Bib Fortuna of her own species and Jabba the Hutt, another alien, also enslaved and killed Oola, and seems unaware that Leia (the mother of her enemies Jacen and Jaina, and a human) was also a slave of Jabba and the one to inadvertently avenge Oola, all of which could have made for some interesting dialogue, character depth, and interactions.
- Anakin, Tahiri, the young Melodie Jedi, and their training peers never cross over from their own series, not even when the academy comes under attack from Brakiss.
- Many fans wish Brakiss had lived to have a Heel–Face Turn after learning that the supposed emperor he was serving was an imposter, as a lot of fans find him more tolerable than various dark Jedi who actually get redemption stories and think that there was a lot of story potential there after his prior interactions with Luke.
- Malcolm Glide is one of the most cold-hearted bastards in the series, and a racist Dirty Coward to boot, but his skill at Xanatos Speed Chess in the final chapters makes an already clever Smokescreen Crime plot into a brilliant one. When Serge confronts him, Glide uses all of the evidence his target, Evangelista (a cop undercover as an Arms Dealer), has gathered against him to convince Serge that Glide has been Good All Along and gathered that evidence himself in a sting operation against Evangelista. He then sends Serge after Evangelista while making Evangelista think that Serge is an assassin after the president of Evangelista's country so that Evangelista will pull a gun, hopefully kill Serge, and get shot himself by either Serge, an assassin among the bodyguards at the event (who is also ready to shoot other people if necessary to spread confusion) or one of the honest bodyguards unaware what's going on. And Serge would have never been any the wiser afterward if not for a Deus ex Machina Infodump from a professional spy.
- Expecting Someone Taller: In the 1944 film, the soldiers are expecting a tall, pretty young woman rather than the preteen Lady Jessica after being told the owner of the castle wants to meet them, causing them to lean forward to meet her gaze
- From Dress to Dressing: In the 1944 film, Simon's brother is accidentally stabbed through the arm and another man tears off his shirt sleeve to look at the wound and then uses to to bind the wound.
- Informed Flaw: Promos for the 2021 series call Patience and Charity Lovell poorly named girls who are equally as rambunctious as the Otis twins, but in the show itself, they come across as nice, level-headed, and well-adjusted stabilizing influences to the boys (although they do join them in snooping around for a treasure hunt).
- My God, What Have I Done?: In the 1944 film, a rival duelist who dares Simon's father to seal off a room the duelist insists Simon is hiding in after Lord de Canterville insists his son is no coward and is not there. When the lord learns that Simon is there and coldly has his workers finish building the wall to bury his son alive, the other aristocrat is horrified and tries to talk the lord out of it, saying he was just joking.
- Wham Shot: About 20 minutes into the 1944 film, Cuffy is laughing about a joke and his friends pulled on the ghost when the camera zooms in on the Canterville birthmark on his neck, showing he is the one with the potential to break the curse.
- Wrench Wench: One of the Rangers in the 1944 film asks a pretty, well-dressed girl at a dance what she likes to do on moonlit nights. She replies that she spends them helping build bombers at a nearby factory.
- Alternative Character Interpretation: The 1944 film leaves room for ambiguity about whether Cuffy was always doomed to freeze in his first battle, or if he only did so because of the pressure and insecurities brought about by Sir Simon hovering near him, yelling about his need to be brave after having previously told Cuffy how all of their other relatives were cowards in battle.
- Ending Fatigue: The big battle at the dragon sanctuary has all the character dynamics and big action moments to be a grand final battle, but after Dragon triumphs, the heroes have to follow him back to Avery for another confrontation before Toothless is able to resist being controlled and rejoin Hiccup.
@ Carrie Awakening
- Amanda McDermitt finds Carrie weird, will often make fun of her, and doesn’t vote for Carrie to be prom queen when lots of the other more innocent bullies are trying to make amends. Still, she she has no real malice toward Carrie either, is yet another girl who only bullied Carrie while following the lead of her friends (and her only known close friends are Emily-who first befriended Amanda when they were three- and Tina, two of the worst bullies), and seems disgusted, horrified, and sympathetic after witnessing the prom prank even as Emily and Tina gleefully laugh.

- Fire Emblem Heroes: Veronica is the game's most recurring antagonist, but the Order of Heroes defeat her once and for all in the penultimate chapter of Book VI and Veronica pulls a Heel–Face Turn during the Book's endgame. This leaves Loki, the second most prominent antagonist of the game, as the real Big Bad.

Here are some tropes for Another Apple Sleep Experiment.
• Love Makes You Evil: After finding out that her thought-to-be-dead sister is alive, that the reason she killed ponies 7 years ago was because of a potion that Twilight gave her that caused her to stop sleeping and, while trying to help her escape prison, witness her being put in a coma by a guard, Apple Bloom decides to get revenge on Twilight and the ponies who abandoned Applejack to rot in prison by exposing them to the same potion, causing them to kill ponies.
• Villain Reveals the Secret: After Twilight wakes up, bound with rope in Applejack's bedroom, begging Apple Bloom to get away from Applejack, who is laying in bed, because she's dangerous and will kill them, Apple Bloom reveals that it wasn't Applejack who attacked Twilight and her friends and killed other ponies, but that Twilight and the others, after being exposed to a gaseous version of the Sleepless Potion by Apple Bloom, hallucinated Applejack attacking them and were the ones who killed those ponies.

- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Downplayed with Bell. She is a nice person, but she is shown to be a bit controlling and self-centered when things don't go her way, such as when she snaps at Eeden for incorporating everyone's ideas onto the mural. She also considers betraying Eeden's team entirely in favor of joining Hayley's team shortly after in a desire to be perfect, which gets her called out by Rose. Her behavior is somewhat justified given the pressure she has to deal with from her strict parents.
YMMV.Reveal Out:
- Angst? What Angst?: Despite being established as a closeted lesbian with Gayngst early on, Eeden gets over her gayngst surprisingly quickly in the new timeline and quickly comes out of the closet soon after she gets to college. Even with the context of her being given another chance in a new timeline, many found her turnaround to be too unrealistic and jarring.
YMMV.Little Witch Academia Teri Terio:
- The Scrappy: While Diana is usually a Base-Breaking Character in most LWA media, she is outright despised by most fans here due to her more sympathetic traits being stripped away, while her bitchier and crueler traits were ramped up, with her harming Akko both physically and emotionally, effectively making her the stereotypical Alpha Bitch that the films and the TV series attempted to avoid portraying her as.

- Freedom is the right of most sentient beings.Explanation
- Missing Episode: Not much later, another one of GVBC's (edited) videos, "Big Baby Tom Doesn't Want to Watch Magic Blocks and Instead Wants to Watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse", was also deleted because it used the voice clip of Tom crying "I want to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse!" from SchinkiD's video, "Tom Misbehaves At His Babysitter".
For YMMV.Wicked Part I:
- One True Threesome: A lot of fans decided to side-step the Ship-to-Ship Combat of Elphaba/Glinda and Elphaba/Fiyero and pair the three together. It helps that the three all have chemistry and that you could make an argument for them each being interested in the other at a certain point of the film.
@Bullman
Despite the film being aimed at mostly at male fans...
...a lot of fans online ship the two online despite them being brothers.
^ One of the "online"s is redundant and should be removed.
...and ship the three together.
^ You can't really pair three people together.
